Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- a. change its position relative to other objects.

Perception of motion can be described as a phenomenon of inferring the direction and speed and of objects, which are moving in a visual scene.

An object is said to be in motion if its position is changed with respect to objects that are present in its surrounding.
